just posting here to get thoughts on my fleet readiness. I've tried to maintain a decent-ish level of casual and KEEP GRINDING OR ITS GULAG TIME. I didn't really have a problem with the last event going H-H-H-N. Of course resources are always a problem but i think this is the second (first was last event) time where I see so many historicals possibly being needed. So thoughts?

So probably a high emphasis on historic ships, but who knows. Levels, probably best to err on the side of caution = 70+ for final EO Map on Medium. You might be able to clear with less. You know how the game works.

From what you listed, a few ships come to mind.
- Noshiro & Yahagi for sure and I'd say a fairly high priority given only historic CL for those two fleets.
- Urakaze/Isokaze/Hamakaze/Kiyoshimo/Nowaki -> Pick one and level up for a 2nd DD to go with Yukikaze in Suzuki fleet. I'd say this is a fairly high priority as well.
- Ooyodo: Not as high priority as above, but if space in PVP/leveling fleet, I'd try to bump her up a bit.
- Fujinami & Okinami. Admittedly debatable with these. Personally if doing Med/Hard and large event, I'd want my historic ships at least at kai. For those two, kai = level 30 each. Up to you. Not same priority as the above, but if ya got room in some 1-5 leveling fleet, I'd throw them in.
- Yamato: Eh, hard to say. On the one hand, given Musashi K2 tied to event + historic base + hype for this event in general, etc. - hard to think that Yamato won't be good to have around and level 5 isn't enough. OTOH, big resource burn with level grinding Yamato class. That's an issue for you w/ current resources IMO. Also, perhaps higher priorities for ship(s) to work on which are not shown above. Perhaps a good compromise right now (and subject to revision) is to put Yamato as PVP flag and see where that gets you. May very well be 2 weeks or more until you get to EO maps & want to use her. You can get quite a bit of XP with PVP flag/MVP in two weeks or so. Downside of course is that won't have PVP flag for other ships you want to level up.

Again, may be other things & perhaps some tweaking to the above once you list more details. Other than that, event SOP as you know -> try to balance out some last minute leveling along with resource stockpiling. For you more fuel & ammo for sure. Might be able to get by on 30k bauxite for Med.

Edited manually from the Fall template that was on my PC since I don't use any viewers.

Appropriate that my favourite admiral's fleet also happens to be the most OP one. The only changes between now and the start of event time will be Yahagi getting a few more levels. No, Noshiro is staying at level 1 and Naganami won't be getting K2.

Flavour DDs are a little low in level but I shall consider this a challenge to Mr Tanaka to either make them needed for the event, or force me to come up with some kind of strange comp to do without them. The thing that gave me the most trouble last event was Z9... no, not actually beating it, but actually causing me to angst out by deploying characters that I didn't really want to. I'll use them in sorties if I have to, but I won't be best pleased about it.

Doing T500 ranking this month but that's still easily a net resource surplus so I'll be fine. I'm awaiting the challenge.

So I just figured out how to do this. I'd never noticed the option before if it was there.
In any case, I'm in good shape I think. I won't have Michishio upgraded in time though, and I've got a few DDs too weak to fight though.
Still my fleet seems pretty solid and my resources are climbing nicely.
Looking at 130k fuel and ammo, 69k bauxite, and 688 buckets. Hoping to hit 70-75k bauxite and 700 buckets and I'll feel good to go.

I also recently got a 2nd WG42 to deal extra hurt to any land bases I might encounter.
Not sure how I'm feeling about radar though. They've been spread a bit thin due to some quests that required them as components.
I should manage.
